From the NY Daily News comes a lst of the baddest of the bad. These just aren't the toughest runs on any given hill, but some of the toughest the world has to offer. Let's take a quick at this list. Maybe you have the bragging rights from skiing one or more of these, or you have the story of your helicopter ride and a broken leg from "skiing" one of these.
| "Rambo" - Crested Butte Mountain Resort, Colorado | "The Streif" - Kitzbuehel, Austria |
| "Great Scott" - Snowbird, Utah | "Harikiri" - Mayrhofen, Austria |
| "Black Hole" - Smugglers' Notch, Vermont | "Paradise Run" - Mad River Glen, Vermont |
| "Corbet's Couloir" - Jackson Hole, Wyoming | "Delirium Dive" - Sunshine Village, Banff, Canada |
| "Al's Run" - Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico | "La Chavanette" - Avoriaz, France |
I don't know about you, but my knees are starting to ache just looking at that list. Now, we could go through each one indivdually, but I don't think there is a need. This list is all steeps, bumps, elevations, avalache dangers, trees, and more diamonds that one could count on both hands. It really is a good list for some of the most dangerous runs around the globe.
However, as with any list, it could be up for debate. Do you think this is a good list? Do you have stories from these runs and think that maybe they aren't dangerous at all? Could one or two of these by your Elenor?
